Nestled in the maritime fog in our neighboring Sonoma, Los Carneros, this expression of Chardonnay is prized for its distinctively bright, citrus fruit and a dazzling complexity bestowed by its ancient vines. The 2020 Chardonnay, Green Acres Vineyard is rife with buoyant notes of orange blossom, lemon verbena, melon and grapefruit. It’s 16-month journey in French oak barrels delivers hints of toasty oak and a touch of crème brûlée, balanced by a fresh, mineral-driven acidity classic to this variety.
